Ausência de políticas de preservação nas pequenas cidades de formação recente no Noroeste Paulista
Abstract: Although the 1988 Federal Constitution established a broad and democratic understanding of
cultural heritage, preservation practices in Brazil often persist in maintaining a restrictive view of what
should be recognized as cultural assets. There remains a widespread notion that heritage is limited
to monumental buildings, works signed by great artists, or creations from distant historical periods.
This conception, which runs counter to the constitutional text’s inclusive perspective on preservation,
excludes the vast majority of Brazilian cities—particularly the small and recently founded ones.
This master’s dissertation, developed within the Graduate Program in Architecture and Urbanism at
the Federal University of Uberlândia (PPGAU-UFU), seeks to deconstruct the limiting notion of
cultural heritage as restricted solely to monumental assets and, consequently, to traditional
preservation instruments. It does so through a discussion on cultural heritage in small, recently
established cities of the northwestern region of São Paulo State, focusing on the municipalities of
Bebedouro and Colina. In parallel, the research aims to propose possible paths for fostering heritage
awareness in these localities, supporting the development of public preservation policies integrated
with local and regional urban development. Drawing on the theoretical contributions of authors such
as Gatti and Zandonade (2017), Endlich and Detoni (2022), Campos and Inoue (2020), Meneses
(2012), Motta (2023), Chuva (2017), Rocha (2020), Meira (2004), and Schicchi (2022), among
others, this work seeks to promote a critical and expanded understanding of the concept of cultural
heritage. By addressing the relationship between heritage and small, recently founded cities in
northwestern São Paulo, and through the case studies of Bebedouro and Colina, the dissertation
aims to reflect on how the municipalities of this region can embrace cultural heritage not only as a
means of safeguarding it amid the city’s ongoing transformations, but also as a way to preserve and
reinterpret their urban identity over time and across generations. In doing so, it aspires to contribute
to improved quality of life, greater social identification and appropriation of space, and the
construction of an intermunicipal approach to cultural heritage preservation.2025-12-08T00:00:00ZE pur si muove: mobilidade urbana e comportamento de viagens em Catalão (GO)https://repositorio.ufu.br/handle/123456789/481182026-01-31T06:24:02Z2025-12-16T00:00:00ZTitle: E pur si muove: mobilidade urbana e comportamento de viagens em Catalão (GO)
Abstract: Due to the expansive, disordered, and chaotic growth of numerous Brazilian cities in
recent decades, from the end of the 20th century to the beginning of the 21st, various
urban dynamics have been affected, including the circulation of people and goods,
amplified by a dispersed and fragmented urban model. Presenting a high volume of
pollutant emissions, intra-urban travel constitutes one of the greatest challenges to
urban environmental sustainability. The socioeconomic conditions of individuals,
combined with the parameters of the consolidated urban form, have contributed to the
triumph of the use of private motor vehicles in cities, especially medium-sized ones.
Considering this problem, this work sought to produce a diagnosis of the development
of urban mobility in Catalão (GO), aiming to understand how socioeconomic conditions
influence travel behavior. To this end, the research uses qualitative and quantitative
methods anchored in the use of population travel monitoring applications which,
integrated with the study of land use and income distribution, allowed a broad
understanding of how the inhabitants of Catalão move around. In this context, IBGE
data becomes fundamental for mapping urban form, allowing the creation of spatial
representations in georeferenced software and serving as an essential basis for an
integrated analysis of the information obtained. The results demonstrated that Catalão
presents a mobility pattern marked by intense dependence on private motorized
vehicles and by the low quality of infrastructure intended for both active mobility and
public transport. It is also observed that the higher the income, the greater the
likelihood of an individual making more trips, while lower incomes tend to face longer
travel times, reinforcing inequalities in access to the city. Finally, it is understood that
the work provides subsidies capable of establishing interventions in local public
policies that can lead Catalão to a higher level of quality of life and a more
environmentally sustainable environment for its inhabitants.2025-12-16T00:00:00ZLaboratório Social de Adaptação e Justiça Climática: Uma abordagem experimental, sistêmica e colaborativa em resposta à crise climáticahttps://repositorio.ufu.br/handle/123456789/481172026-01-31T06:24:01Z2025-11-25T00:00:00ZTitle: Laboratório Social de Adaptação e Justiça Climática: Uma abordagem experimental, sistêmica e colaborativa em resposta à crise climática
Abstract: According to the Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), there is a more than 50% chance that the average warming scenario of 1.5°C will be reached or exceeded by 2035. AR6 also points out that more than three billion people are in a situation considered highly vulnerable to the impacts of global warming, raising the level of alerts regarding climate change. The most vulnerable populations, the least responsible for this context, are also those that suffer most from its effects and from the consequences of poor or absent adaptation. In this sense, responding to the complexity of these changes and promoting climate justice would require integrated solutions, with the engagement of stakeholders and innovators, such as those created in participatory social innovation processes. Based on qualitative and exploratory research guided by Design Science Research (DSR), this study aimed to identify the key elements necessary for building a social laboratory focused on generating solutions for climate adaptation and justice. The investigation identified and described different denominations and dynamics of social laboratories, analyzed experiences of social innovation focused on climate change, and collected best practices in social laboratories for climate adaptation and justice. As an artifact, then, the Social Laboratory for Climate Adaptation and Justice is proposed, with a set of prescriptions for a multi-stakeholder, collaborative, experimental, systemic, and decolonial process. Organized in mutually reinforcing steps, the conduction of a social laboratory based on these prescriptions intends to generate equitable climate adaptation interventions and mutual learning for all participants.2025-11-25T00:00:00ZAvaliação de impactos e estratégias para mitigação em empreendimentos do Minha Casa Minha Vida na cidade de Uberlândiahttps://repositorio.ufu.br/handle/123456789/480782026-01-27T06:19:43Z2025-10-20T00:00:00ZTitle: Avaliação de impactos e estratégias para mitigação em empreendimentos do Minha Casa Minha Vida na cidade de Uberlândia
Abstract: Brazil faces a housing deficit of approximately 5.8 million units (FJP, 2019) and, although the Minha Casa Minha Vida (MCMV) program has expanded access to housing, several developments exhibit low capacity to respond to environmental, social and building-related impacts throughout their life cycle, revealing performance and resilience gaps in Social Housing (HIS). This dissertation investigates resilience in HIS through Post-Occupancy Evaluation (POE), aiming to analyse and improve the Impact Questionnaire (QI) and, simultaneously, to diagnose the main impacts perceived by residents. The instrument, structured into thematic modules, was applied to 106 dwellings in the Shopping Park and Pequis housing estates, located in Uberlândia, Minas Gerais, Brazil, within a climatic context classified by ABNT NBR 15220-3:2024 as Bioclimatic Zone 3B (mixed and dry), which enabled the identification of vulnerabilities associated with thermal performance, construction pathologies, overlapping uses and socioeconomic conditions. Methodologically, this is an applied research, grounded in POE and in the guidelines of Design Science Research (DSR), which supported the successive refinement of the QI and the synthesis of the findings into a propositive artefact. The results show that the current version of the QI combines accessible language with analytical robustness, allowing comparative reading between housing developments and the identification of recurrent impact patterns. Based on this diagnosis, the booklet “Impact Mitigation Strategies for Users” was developed, systematizing mitigation actions at the scale of the dwelling and its immediate surroundings, and providing support for HIS residents, public managers and designers in the qualification of housing policies and design practices from a resilience perspective.2025-10-20T00:00:00Z
